About this subject
Character questions are about how a person behaves when nobody is enforcing anything. This topic covers speech and backbiting, anger and patience, honesty and promises, neighbors and guests, and parents and elders. Readers ask where a joke becomes a slight, what a promise binds them to, and how to keep a friendship honestly. Every answer here is a sourced summary of a fatwa. Start with speech and backbiting if your question is about something you said.
